Cubosomes formed from blue phase liquid crystals (BPs) dispersed in aqueous media exhibit optical responses to biological amphiphiles. In this study, the formation of aqueous dispersions of BPs is reported, and the effects of confinement and lipids on the phase behavior, optical appearance, and morphology of BP droplets are characterized.
立方液晶泡囊由分散在水介质中的蓝相液晶形成,对生物两亲分子表现出光学响应。在这项研究中,报道了蓝相液晶在水相中的分散体的形成,并对限制条件和脂质对 BP 液滴的相行为、光学外观和形态的影响进行了研究。
